“Sofitel Legend Casco's colonial gem”

Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo - Panama City is a gorgeous, elegant Casco Viejo hotel — Panama's best location steps from the presidential palace for walking the beautiful old town, colonial-era style with perfected details, a quiet spacious room with balcony city views, a pool, a must-try main restaurant and La Caleta tasting menu, a secret upstairs bar, a surprise hotel tour ending in national dance, and phenomenal respect-and-kindness staff (Ivan praised). The complaints: a very poor breakfast with undertrained restaurant staff for one (others called it a treat); and frequent loud events like weddings — one day you may not get to sleep.
